Scanialara You won't be disappointed!

Ceticultsot Beautiful, moving film.

ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

one-nine-eighty The opening shots promised Zombies, the first thing to upset me was that I had to wait for nearly 45 minutes to actually see zombie's lurching into shots and causing mayhem. Basically some stereotypically gangster geezer (Ackson played by D.J. Naylor) wants out of a gang, but he is made to do "one more job" for the crime lord who seems to have his own empire including a clothing line (adverts and slogans for 'Avirex' are everywhere like a product placement parody) and a lesbian porn factory. The job is to check up on and supervise another crew who want to rob a bank (the four man crew is headed up by Brandon Xavier's Ski character). Upon Ackson arriving he finds the crew have changed their plans because they are inexperienced and impatient idiots; instead of the robbery being planned for a day or two they decide to rob it whilst scoping it out. Things go wrong (as with all rush jobs like this), cops, security and patrons are threatened and in some instances shot in cold blood, the silent alarm is triggered and a police/SWAT team turn up and surround the bank. To make things worse their get-away driver panics and flees the scene with the get-away car!! Despite Ackson trying to put some controls in place and have a smooth robbery Ski has caused mayhem and there is no apparent escape. Scene set, queue the Zombies….. These zombies aren't regular zombies, they are vampiric zombies, this is actually explained by Hunter (Big Daddy Kane) who advises they are a result of cross contamination of mutagens - of course they are. The vampire-zombies break through the police line and begin to infiltrate the bank queueing up Hunter's arrival. Hunter is an ex-government agent and he wants to save the handful of people who have so far survived but they have to listen and follow orders, which of course has been proved as difficult already with Ski not listening to Ackson. The group manage to slay an awful lot of vampire-zombies leaving blood splashed everywhere but who will survive and what will be left of them?This film thought it was "Boyz in da Hood" crossed with "Shawn of the Dead" but wasn't close to being as good as either. It felt like a lot of style over content at times as the story was fairly weak, it just seemed like a lot of peacocking to prove how cool the 'gang/thug life is". There were times where the narrative/dialogue was too 'street' and it was difficult to understand what the actors where talking about unless you have a degree in gang thug-o-nomics, even after watching lots of typical 'street/gang' films there were some things I was baffled by - none the less I figured it out eventually despite the script calling for a curse word apparently every two words. Saying that though I have seen a lot worse films, this film didn't try to be big - it's not like there was a big budget and they blew it trying to make something epic. It's more that there was little to no budget and the production crew just wanted to make something fun - in that sense it succeeded, even with the sometimes difficult dialogue. The biggest let down for me was the zombies, Bo Webb the directory obviously wanted to combine random film folklores and bring something new and original with these vampire- zombies but at times it was too mixed up. Things like the vampire- zombies only coming out at night on a full moon, the varying ways to kill them, the biology and strengths/ weakness of them. As mentioned the zombies didn't get enough screen time and rather than being a threat they just came across as mildly annoying.The big question then, did I enjoy the film? I guess I didn't hate it, but that doesn't necessarily confirm that I enjoyed it does it. I tolerated the film and it wasn't a waste of 90 minutes of my life, but likewise I wont be writing home to tell everybody to watch it immediately.

GL84 Tired of hustling on the street, a group of street punks decide to rob a bank, but after getting caught and forced to hide out inside they notice a gang of ravenous zombies attempting to break in and try to hold off the creatures enough to escape.This one had a few good points to it. The main thing with this one is that there's a really nice back-story for the creatures, which makes for some really good times here as, while the medical experiment thread has been done before, this time it actually works for the film. Best of all is that the proposed experiment would actually do some good to humanity rather than just being simply a reason to unleash the zombie hordes, and when it all gets explained, the changes made to them make the creatures a lot better than average zombies. These changes, getting away from the head-shot kill and by forcing them to come out only at night, are pretty great and by incorporating them into the film, make the film really fun. The zombies also have another big plus in the film by generating some big action scenes in here, from the first encounter where they overrun the police force outside in a swarm of bites, ambushes and bodies being ripped apart to the attacks inside the bank that were one-on-one off in the solitary rooms all the way to the full-on assault at the end, there's a lot of fun action in this one. That ending assault is the big highlight action scene here, as it's where they all start shooting up the zombies in a flurry of gunfire, impaling, blood-spraying and much more as it's so long that it eventually just becomes better the longer it goes on, and with some nice bloodshed done as well, it's enough to make it enjoyable. Along with the really creepy, impressive opening, these make this one relatively fun though this one here does have a few rather big flaws to it. For as much good as they do here, the zombies are responsible for two of the biggest ones. The bigger of the two is that, since there's so much time spent on the bank-robbery set-up, they hardly get any real time on-screen besides the opening attack and the fight at the end. They're absent from most of the movie as it forces the film into long stretches of inactivity which are hardly interesting as the film focuses on their struggles for too much instead of the zombie action, and in a zombie movie, that's never a real good sign. The other factor is that they're of the running zombie variety which makes them inferior to the other zombie variety since there's nothing about them similar to the classic zombie model of these creatures snarling and running around at quick speeds. Rather than being scarier, all they do is irritate when something should've been done about it. Aside from these, the next biggest problem some will have with it will be the rather bland dialog in here, since nearly everything in here is cursing of some sort, even in situations that don't call for it, and it's hard to really get into the explanations for everything when they're cursing at every turn. These here are the film's problems.Rated R: Extreme Graphic Language, Graphic Violence, Nudity and a mild sex scene.

viciouslollipop A fun little B-movie Zombie romp, about bank-robbers that pick the wrong night/town to rob a bank...as long as you keep in mind-it is what it is-it's enjoyable, especially if you are a fan of cheesy B-movies and/or horror...the acting is so-so(no Oscars will be handed out but I have seen much, much worse), the effects are OK(not on par with any of the Romero or big-budget horror movies...but I'm guessing they weren't working with a ton of money to begin with), and the plot/story is passable(in a movie like this logic pretty much goes out of the window and suspension of disbelief is the order of the day...or you can just laugh it up-you choose). There are quite a few hip-hop artists in the movie(Big Daddy Kane, BoneCrusher, E40...)if you are a fan of the genre;if not, there inclusion will be transparent to you.Shut off brain, eat popcorn, enjoy:)

lovecraft231 A bank heist goes horribly bad when (what else) the dead come in for food.As far as recent Urban Zombie movies go, "Dead Heist" is better than "Zombiez," but worse than "Hood of the Living Dead" and "Gangs of the Dead." That's not saying much, especially when you consider the fact that "Hood" and "Gangs" are bad movies too.The dead here are cut from the same cloth as the speedy zombies from the "Dawn of The Dead" remake and the infected from "28 Days Later" and it's sequel, only generic instead of interesting or frightening. The gore is nothing new, though the fact that the dead can only be killed by being shot in the heart (and you're to blame...) is a poor attempt at trying something different.As far as acting goes, Big Daddy Kane does the best job. He's not good, mind you, but he does the best job. Amusingly, while Bone Crusher and E-40 are advertised as staring in it, yet they aren't in the movie for very long-Bone Crusher appears in the beginning as a patron in a strip club so tame it could have passed for MTV's "The Grind", then disappears. Meanwhile, E-40 has less than 5 minutes of screen time as a porn director, and gives a "alright, where's my paycheck already" level performance. The rest of the cast ranges from a dead ringer for Vin Diesel to the white female cop, a white businessman thinking of joining the Nation of Islam (ha ha), and plenty of stereotypical gang banger characters.While not the worst recent Urban horror movie, there's still nothing worth recommending here. I have no idea whether or not the fact that this reminded me of the "Attack of the Street Pimps" bit from "Hollywood Shuffle" is a good thing or a bad thing. It's probably a bad thing.
